The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that "Cocaine is an alkaloid derived from the shrub Cannabis sativa." We need to evaluate the accuracy of this statement. - **Analysis**: Cocaine is not derived from Cannabis sativa; instead, it is derived from the Erythroxylum coca plant. Therefore, this assertion is **false**. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason states that "Cocaine is a derived form of LSD." We need to evaluate the accuracy of this statement as well. - **Analysis**: Cocaine and LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) are two distinct substances. Cocaine is a stimulant, while LSD is a hallucinogen. They are not derived from one another, making this reason **false**. 3. **Conclusion**: Since both the assertion and the reason are false, we can conclude that the correct option is that both the assertion and the reason are false. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are false.
